Pretty sure the gnome panels are kept in gconf. You could use a GUI
(gconf-editor), or I guess toast the whole directory and restore defaults
when you login again and it's recreated :)
~/.gconf/apps/panel/ and subdirs and the file names are %gconf.xml
Good luck. It's pretty simple once you start pulling the files apart, but
that doesn't mean it's not cludgy, complex, and c...horrifying.
